My friend Lauren, an ATL native who as a child played in the shadow of the Coca-Cola bottling plant and as a consequence developed an attachment to their products that borders on the psycho, just sent me this image of the evolution of Coke’s distinctive bottle. Apparently the sequence is (left to right): 1899 - 1900 - 1915 - 1916 - 1957 - 1986.

I actually don’t like Coke, but I like this image a lot, partly because it reminds me of one of my favorite dancehall songs from back in the day, Simpleton’s ‘Coca Cola Bottle Shape’ which was the shit my freshman year of high school. I hadn’t listened to this song in years, but when I played it earlier this afternoon I found that it gave me an instantaneous, involuntary case of blue balls, which I assume is caused by the sense memory of the many fruitless grinding sessions of my youth.

Thanks Lauren, just playing!
